Virtual Console reviews: Space Invaders, Forgotten Worlds
- November 24, 2008 00:00 AM PST
OMG Nintendo reviews last week's Virtual Console offering, rating one of them a keeper and the other a pass.
Before I post this up, I want to note that I didn't write it... it's actually the work of the new Virtual Console editor, Wanderer. We're still working on getting his author access and such set up, but he decided that wouldn't stop him from writing anyway! This week's VC titles are Space Invaders and Forgotten Worlds, two console ports of arcade classics.

Forgotten Worlds is an arcade classic as is Space Invaders. Forgotten Worlds is so much fun.
The controlls allow 360 degree weapon firing which was unique at the time. I loved the idea of earning credit and then buying weapons at the shops. One of the things that really stands out to me now was at the start of the game when you hear the character say "I will finish him today."
Too bad this is not the arcade version of the game though. The Genesis does not pull off a exact copy of that game. Fun game still.
